Our Community United Before — Boycott Pink House and Demand Closure of Reported Illegal 24/7 Sales

Our community has stood together before to raise concerns about cannabis stores operating near childcare facilities and residential neighbourhoods.

When another cannabis store was proposed near a daycare, residents organized, signed a petition, and made their voices heard.

Today, we are raising even more serious concerns about Pink House at 1572 Queen Street East.

Unlike a typical licensed cannabis retailer, Pink House has reportedly been operating 24 hours a day, raising important questions about licensing, public safety, and compliance with Ontario law.

There are several issues we believe deserve immediate investigation:

Children and families: We are concerned about cannabis sales near homes and childcare facilities and want authorities to verify that no sales to minors are occurring.
Organized crime: Canadian law enforcement has identified organized crime involvement in the illegal cannabis market. We want police to investigate whether any unlawful distribution networks are connected to this operation.
Potentially unsafe cannabis: Products sold outside the regulated market may lack mandatory testing and quality controls, creating possible contamination and health risks.
24-hour activity: Overnight operations may create additional concerns about noise, loitering, and neighbourhood disturbances.
Fire and electrical safety: We want authorities to verify that the property meets all applicable building and safety requirements.
We are not claiming that criminal connections, sales to minors, or unsafe products have been proven at Pink House. We are calling for these concerns to be investigated.

We are asking Toronto Police, our City Councillor, provincial regulators, and other responsible authorities to investigate and take appropriate enforcement action, including closure if serious violations are confirmed.

We also encourage residents to support licensed cannabis retailers that comply with Ontario's regulations.

Our community has come together before. Your voice matters again.
